It’s been a whirlwind of activity here in Cane Creek. We had to move out of our old house because of the black mold and radon. Since then, we’ve been camping out in a little 26′ × 20′ apartment that was originally intended to house furloughed missionaries a day or two as they passed through.

We didn’t mind the coziness, but our new digs seemed to re-awaken in Mike the desire to see his home-building project completed. Mike left the office duties to me for a few weeks while he’s been working furiously this summer to get our new house built.

Meanwhile, I’ve been trying to complete work on The Test (the second book in The Last Publishers series) as well as several other surprise projects and trying to keep things going at the office. I get so distracted, my thoughts get scattered, and I forget where I put my glasses, purse, shoes, etc. Too funny!

Mike is stopping work on the house for the winter as I write this — YIPPEE!!! It will be so good to have him putting together the Jan/Feb issue of NGJ Magazine. We already have several articles that we did not use last time so it is mostly ready.

So many wonderful things are on our plate. So much good work to be done. It promises to be an exciting ride . . . Hang on!
